Totem: Helping businesses grow performance and profits through people at their best.

In all of our work we are asked to support businesses to Select, Develop & Engage talent.

What does that mean we actually do?  

In terms of selection - or recruitment and assessment, the change people want to see is often higher quality recruits, faster performance in the job and a more efficient process. We deliver that through process design and support for recruiters to select candidates in a better way.  Our focus is on the application of best practice - the key word there being application: It's got to be practical and fit business needs.

On the development and engagement side, we deliver behavioural change.  Whatever the content, we work with clients to understand the change that is needed by asking, "what do you want people to do that they are not doing now?"  Where other companies might jump straight to delivering knowledge and skills practice, we first ask, "what is stopping people from already delivering the desired behaviour and result?"  That question enables us to focus any solutions in the right places.  Whatever we deliver, it will be bespoke to suit the particular culture, needs and logistics of each business.  

Our focus is on tailoring our approach to deliver behavioural change that works, being clear on the desired outcome, maximising the potential enablers and minimising barriers to success.  Simply put, if it's to do with achieving higher performance and results through people - we can help.
